Sony Xperia XZ Premium starts receiving Android Oreo

Sony
has announced that it has started rolling out Android 8.0 Oreo for the
Xperia XZ Premium, beating others, to become the first OEM to push
Android's latest iteration.

Android
Oreo brings a lot of new features and improvements such as Picture in
Picture (PIP) mode, adaptive icon, notification channels, background
limits and more. Sony has also made some customization to the software
by adding some its own features like 3D Creators, which was first
introduced in Xperia Z1/Z1 Compact, Predictive Capture, Auto-focus burst
and more.

Here's the list of features Android Oreo brings for Xperia XZ Premium

3D
Creator – Our acclaimed 3D scanning feature first introduced with
Xperia XZ1 and XZ1 Compact. It lets you scan your face, head, food or
any object, rendering it as a 3D avatar or free-form image in less than
60 seconds, and makes it easy to share on social media with friends or
3D print

Predictive
Capture (smile) – Never miss an unexpected 🙂 again, as Predictive
Capture automatically starts buffering images when it detects a smile
(even before you press the shutter button), allowing you to pick the
best from a selection of up to four shots
